Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Chinese researchers have developed what they believe could be a viable, safer alternative to CRISPR for correcting genetic mutations in humans to treat diseases. The technology is called ‘leveraging endogenous…
Scientists have created the first three-dimensional living entities from human embryonic stem cells. These advanced cellular structures or embryoids closely resemble primitive human embryos and could potentially be used to…
Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys have grown fully functional hair follicles from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that grow natural looking hair through the skin. Trauma, burns, and a range…
For the first time, scientists have successfully genetically modified stem cells in vivo in mice, eliminating the risks associated with extraction, lab alteration, and re-introduction of the cells. Patients with…
Researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have developed stem cell nose drops that has restored the sense of smell in mice. When olfactory sensory neurons are…
A team of researchers at the Morgridge Institute for Research in Madison, WI are using induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) to create functional arteries that can be used to treat…
One of the problems with the use of the CRISPR gene editing tool for treating genetic diseases in humans is how to control gene editing precisely once CRISPR-Cas9 has been…
University of California researchers have used electrodes to read brain signals and developed a virtual vocal tract and machine learning algorithms to translate those signals into speech. Using the system,…
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have 3D bioprinted a heart complete with atria, ventricles, and blood vessels using cells harvested from the patient. The work represents a major advance in…
The first human CRISPR gene editing trial to be conducted in the United States has now commenced. The treatment is being given to two patients as part of a study…
